White Horse Theater Company continues its 10th anniversary season with 'night, Mother, Marsha Norman's explosive 1983 play that was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The acclaimed two-person drama centers around Jessie, a middle-aged, down-on-her-luck divorcée who moves back with her mother, Thelma, played by Broadway veteran Joy Franz (Into the Woods). As mother and daughter spend a high-stakes evening together, the ensuing debate -- sometimes quiet, sometimes tempestuous -- ultimately gives rise to our deepest, most personal questions about how and why we value life.

Reviews & Ratings

Shaving off a few minutes would have tighten this play, though I am sure that they wanted to stay true to the original script. As expected, Joy Franz was sensational. Her portrayal made me openly weep at the end. Recommended.
